An architect’s workweek, explained through a family conversation

Framed around Anjel’s Career Day assignment, this book uses a mother-daughter conversation to introduce architecture as a profession shaped by design, construction, and creativity. Day-by-day details give the subject a practical structure, while the coloring-book element connects the career discussion with hands-on visual exploration. The author also places the project in the context of her own path to architectural licensure and the limited representation of African American women in the field. It presents architecture not only as a technical career but as a creative possibility linked to early interests in building, drawing, and making.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young people exploring creative or design-centered careers
  • Families and classrooms discussing Career Day or architecture
  • Coloring-book users interested in buildings and construction

This children's storybook and coloring book is what, I wish I had, when I was a child. I loved playing with building blocks, coloring, and simply being creative. I found my love for architecture in high school. I received my architectural license in 2009, at that time, I was one of the first 500 licensed African American Women Architects in the United States of America out of a profession of a little over 219,000 registered architects (0.002%). This number is way too low. My storybook and coloring book are a testament of my journey in this profession. I am hopeful that they will bring awareness and inspiration for the next generation of future architects.
